Chapter 11: Something Goes Wrong
After three days of non-stop travel, Mao Wenlong and others finally arrived at the foot of Liangshan, and they could reach Shanhaiguan as long as they crossed Liangshan. Along the way, he never met the Tartar again, although Mao Wenlong felt strange, but the end was almost reached, and he gradually put the Tartar behind.
The six guards rode away, looked around, and after a while turned back to tell them that they were safe. Seeing this, Mao Wenlong asked everyone to stop and rest, recuperate and prepare for the customs entry.
Some of the six guards were on guard, while others led their horses aside to graze. It is also thanks to these twenty horses that Mao Wenlong can continue to travel like this.
Liangshan has already entered the Shanhaiguan territory, so it is not suitable for cooking here, and everyone can only eat some dry food prepared before to cope with their stomachs.
After three days of continuous travel, everyone was very tired when they stopped. Especially on horseback with such a bump, even if the man is beaten with iron, he feels extremely sore at the moment.
Mao Wenlong and Chen Lan leaned under a big tree, the latter was very tired, leaned on Mao Wenlong's shoulder, closed his eyes and fell asleep after a while.
Seeing this, Mao Wenlong was very distressed, and said in his heart: "Xiaolan, I have made you suffer." ”
At this time, Chen Jisheng came over, saw Chen Lan asleep, and said in a low voice: "Dudu, can you take a step to speak." ”
Mao Wenlong nodded, pointed to the shade not far away and said, "Go there." ”
Chen Jisheng responded with his hand and strode away. Mao Wenlong gently let Chen Lan's body lean on the trunk of the tree, and then left quietly.
"What's the matter, tell me!" Mao Wenlong found a fairly clean stone and sat down and said.
"Governor, the past three days have been too quiet all the way, and my subordinates feel a little abnormal." Chen Jisheng said in a deep voice.
"What's wrong, let's hear about it." Mao Wenlong was slightly surprised, wouldn't it be better to have no chasing soldiers like now? How did it become abnormal in Chen Jisheng's eyes?
Seeing the doubts on Mao Wenlong's face, Chen Jisheng was quite bitter. can also understand that this is Mao Wenlong's amnesia that can cause such a result.
If Mao Wenlong, who had not lost his memory before, would definitely understand the Tao, after all, he had been fighting with the Tartars for so many years, and he didn't know what kind of temperament the Tartars had.
In desperation, Chen Jisheng could only explain: "The governor may have forgotten that this Tartar is the most grudgeful, and he lost eleven people in our hands a few days ago, and he will definitely not give up." But in the past three days, there has been no Tartar, and the subordinates feel abnormal. ”
Mao Wenlong also felt that Chen Jisheng's words were reasonable, but it could not be ruled out that Tartar might give up chasing him. After pondering for a moment, Mao Wenlong made a decision: "That's it, anyway, we are almost at Shanhaiguan, and if we want to come, the Tartars don't dare to chase here." We're tired now, so we'll rest for the afternoon and leave early tomorrow, and in the meantime, you'll have everyone on their toes. ”
"It's the Governor!" In the final analysis, Chen Jisheng is just suspicious, and there is no real evidence to prove that the Tartars are still chasing. Therefore, it is not indispensable for Mao Wenlong to ask everyone to be vigilant.
Chen Jisheng was ordered to go down to inform everyone, and Mao Wenlong returned to Chen Lan's side again, and she would have woken up. Although she slept for a while, she still looked tired.
"It's okay, you can rest for a while, you won't be ready to go in the afternoon, and you will set off tomorrow morning." Mao Wenlong leaned forward very gently, and stretched out his hand to wrap his hand around Chen Lan's body.
Obediently snuggled in Mao Wenlong's arms, Chen Lan said softly 'um' and closed his eyes to sleep again.
After an afternoon of rest, there were no accidents, and there was no movement of the Tartars. It wasn't until nightfall that everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He set up camp and soon set up his tent, made a small fire in a sheltered place, and began to make a fire for cooking.
There was still some flour left in the grain storage, and after Chen Lan had rested for an afternoon, this would have eased up. In a good mood, I made some noodles for everyone.
Being able to eat noodles in the wilderness is definitely a luxury. Chen Jisheng and others even slapped Chen Lan's sycophants and praised her so much that she blushed.
In fact, she also discovered that since she slept with Mao Wenlong that night, she could see that Chen Jisheng and others were deliberately currying favor with themselves.
Although I don't know if Chen Jisheng and others really respect themselves, Chen Lan still feels very happy under people's vanity. Everyone loves to listen to good words, and Chen Lan can't care whether Chen Jisheng is sincere or false.
At least from the current point of view, her wife has completely sat down, and it is understandable to enjoy the praise of Mao Wenlong's subordinates.
After the meal, except for those who had to be guarded, the rest of the people fell asleep one after another, and drowsiness hit, and after a while the sound of snoring came from the camp one after another.
The moon hung in the middle of the sky, and the white moonlight was very bright, but the six guards in charge of guarding did not relax in the slightest. In the distance, the long cries of wild wolves could be heard, which made several people very vigilant.
In this grassland, wolves are undoubtedly the biggest threat to humans, and once they are besieged by wolves, they will definitely die.
At this time, Chen Jisheng's tent suddenly moved, and I saw him get out of the tent, glance around, and then go straight to the guards on duty.
Mao Wenlong's personal guards were generally taken in by him during his stay in Dongjiang Town. Most of them were attacked by Tartars and their families were ruined.
Most of them are desperate to be rescued or there is only one person left in the family, although Mao Wenlong's temperament is not very good, he often has an arrogant posture towards outsiders. But he had nothing to say to his subordinates or his own people.
Therefore, after these people became Mao Wenlong's personal soldiers, they were all loyal. The two people on duty at this moment are the only pair of brothers in the pro-soldier team.
After the family and even the entire village were sacked by the Tartars, only the two of them escaped. The real name is the big dog and the second dog, and later after defecting to Mao Wenlong, Mao Wenlong thought his name was ugly, and specially found a gentleman to name them Hao Da Haoxiao, and gave him his surname, Mao.
Mao Haoda and Mao Haoxiao suddenly heard movement behind them, and when they turned around to check, they found that it was Chen Jisheng who arrived, and the two hurriedly saluted.
"Mao Haoda."
"Mao Haoxiao."
"See the Admiral!"
The two of them spoke in unison, and they were very respectful to Chen Jisheng in their manners.
Chen Jisheng was very disdainful of the names of the two, but he knew that these two people were given by a pseudo-gentleman invited by the governor at that time.
There is no meaning at all in what is huge and small, and it is also a loss that these two boys have always been quite proud, and they cherish the name given by the governor very much.
However, recalling the original names of the two before, the big dog and the second dog, Chen Jisheng was relieved.
Chen Jisheng was woken up by the wolf's long cry just now, and just wanted to ask if there was a wolf in the vicinity of the two. Suddenly, you no longer hear the wolf's long cry?
